Microsoft has appointed long-serving executive Rodney Clark as its new CVP of Global Channel Sales.
Clark replaces Gavriella Schuster, who led the partner operation for over seven years. She is stepping down to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Clark has been at the tech giant for 23 years, most recently serving as its CVP of IoT and mixed reality sales.
“In his 20+ years at Microsoft, Rodney has been no stranger to the channel, maintaining proximity and spending a vast majority of time dedicated to growing partner value,” stated Nick Parker, CVP of Global Partner Solutions.
“His experience, passion and commitment to not only accelerate the industry but to push Microsoft, through a focus on building capability, through partners, positions him incredibly well to help our partners continue to drive growth."
Schuster will remain with the company for the next few months in order to help transition Clark into the role.
